So, no matchup whatsoever between their top winners and NYCC.  Nice.  LA announces Sunday and hopefully they continue the craziness.  Always nice to have an exciting season.  So far though, it looks like 12 Years a Slave is really underperforming.  That's quite a shock as it was expected to steamroll through.  Hmmm.
